Description
Double-span road bridge, built c.1820, spanning Fiddler's Brook. Rubble stone walls with segmental-arches having dressed stone voussoirs. V-concrete cutwater to upstream (north) elevation with weir to downstream (south) elevation. Solider stone capping to parapet.
Appraisal
This bridge, although simple in design is solidly constructed using locally sourced materials. The use of rubble stone in its walls contrasts with the dressed voussoirs to create textural variation. The weir adds further interest to the site.
